MF does affect Chest Drops. I don't know why people say it doesn't, and I definitely do not believe BrightLord claimed that it didn't.
This is not up for debate, it does affect, and it is the easiest thing to check by yourself, no one needs third parties confirmation for this piece of info. Just wear gear with anything around 200% MF (which is very easy if you have an average playtime in the mod) and open LT Chests 25 times (which take less than 1 hour). Then take the gear off and open 25 LT Chests with 0% MF. The difference in the drops is gigantic.
That's all there is to MF affecting Chest drops, no need to discuss this further. Anyone who still claims it doesn't affect either is trolling or just haven't taken 2 hours to check by himself (and is losing a bunch of good drops for not using MF to farm chests, lol).
Only 25 trials? Lmao. This isn't even 20% confidence. Since you clearly don't understand probability, shut the fuck unless you've decompiled the code responsible for chest logic.
Your pity attempts on ofending someone online only show how little it is worth to take anything you say seriously.
You enphasize on the sample size (25 attempts) as if this was the only variable. This shows how little you know about probabilities. The sample size only need to be big enough to prove a point. In cases of very small difference in results, a bigger sample is needed to improve confidence. This is not the case here.
The case here is the opposite: since results show a gigantic difference between 0% MF and a considerable amount of MF (I''d say 200% and above), the sample size does not require to be big.
In fewer words: try it a few times and just check the obvious and undeniable difference in drops.
If you want to, you can do hundreds of runs. Be my guest. You will just waste your time and come to the same conclusion.
Provide me an e-mail, and I'll send my bachelor and master engineering degree qualifications. I'd love to see yours too and maybe I could try to understand where you got those "20% confidence" from.
